Todd Bowles faces make-or-break hire with QB implications

Here are a few thoughts on Todd Bowles' decision to fire offensive coordinator John Morton after only one season:

1. Bowles is out of mulligans. He's preparing for his fourth year as New York Jets coach, and he's already looking for his third coordinator, equaling Rex Ryan's total over six years. This is a make-or-break hire for Bowles, whose choice will impact the quarterback situation, which will impact the entire franchise.

He must hire someone whose reputation and/or system can attract free agents. In other words, would Kirk Cousins find the Jets appealing if they hire a first-time coordinator?
